Problem with GEO activated and without Lat or Long in Tweet's with Tweepy and Python

I think in the question I said everything.

I use Python 3.5, Tweepy and after a search (search) of tweets through a keyword, I see that many have the GEO active but I can not access Lat and Lng using Tweepy.

Does anyone know where these fields are and what would be the exact syntax to access if they existed?

python tweepy twitter-api

First of all, it should be noted that the field geo of the Tweets API has been deprecated:

Deprecated. Nullable. Use the "coordinates" field instead. Discussion

The correct thing is to use the field coordinates :

The longitude and latitude of the Tweet's location, as an collection in the form of [longitude, latitude].

Example:

"coordinates":[-97.51087576,35.46500176]

Keep in mind that not all tweets have geolocation, so you should validate the field beforehand. I leave you a small example that I just made:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import tweepy


# Tus credenciales
ACCESS_TOKEN = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
CONSUMER_KEY = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
CONSUMER_SECRET = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'

auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET)
auth.set_access_token(ACCESS_TOKEN, ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET)
api = tweepy.API(auth)
public_tweets = api.search('#python')
for tweet in public_tweets:
    if tweet.coordinates:
        print tweet.coordinates
        print tweet.coordinates['coordinates']

An example output would be:

{u'type': u'Point', u'coordinates': [106.86663792, -6.16509361]}
[106.86663792, -6.16509361]
